About the AMD Radeon HD 8330 GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 8330 is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q3 2013. It is built on the GCN 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Kalindi) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 8330 includes 128 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 500 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 8330 has the 512th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.51% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon HD 7290 GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 7290 is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Loveland) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 7290 includes 80 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 280 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 400 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 18 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 7290 has the 541st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.20% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
